sink two

encapsulate in arms embrace
hanging onto all that's left
the land about us
has fallen apart
the floor has sank beneath us
the walls have crumbled
down the edge

hot breath to keep warm by
having encountered unkind hands
walked a tireless walk in step
miles moved and no distance made

sink

candied words
fall short
coveted worlds
call home
turbulent minds
reach forward

the let go
the dive
and
catch
and
sink

beneath earth
